How to cook deliciously - Roast Beef with Spicy Yogurt-Walnut Sauce

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Heat a large ovenproof skillet until very hot. On a plate, rub the roast all over with the soy sauce and then with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Add the roast to the skillet, fat side down, along with any extra oil from the plate. Cook over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4 minutes. Turn the roast fat side up and roast in the oven for 25 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 115°F for rare. Transfer the roast to a carving board to rest.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned; let cool. Coarsely chop the nuts.

3. Stage

In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the frying peppers, cumin, coriander and cayenne, cover and cook over moderately low heat until the peppers are barely softened, about 5 minutes. Let cool.

4. Stage

In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic, walnuts, frying peppers and tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the roast and serve with the walnut sauce.

5. Stage

Variations : Use the spicy walnut sauce on chicken or lamb, or serve as a dip for pita bread.
